"Your king also knows very well that this peace agreement will not last long." Ulf picked up a chess piece representing the king and said to Yinsak calmly.
Yinsak did not refute this time. According to his observations in Alfred's court, although Alfred never showed signs of breaking the contract, Yinsak could see something from his eyes, but As a former advisor and adviser, Yin Sak could only remain silent.
"Then, let's continue." Ulf raised the corner of his mouth and extended his hand to Yinsak as a gesture of invitation.
The earth is like a chessboard, and the kings, knights, queens and Vikings on it are like the chess pieces on it. Under the control of a pair of invisible hands, they fight each other and are full of tricks.
Time slowly moved forward, and Ulf and others were building longships in the parish while waiting for the weather to get warmer before leaving the British islands and returning to their own territory. _o_m
The supplies originally stored in the parish became supplies for Ulf and others to spend the winter. It can be said that they had a very nourishing winter, and the construction of the Viking longship was also very smooth.
When heavy snow began to fall in the sky, Ulf sat in the house of the former diocesan bishop. He looked at the flying snow outside the window and squinted his eyes slightly.
"I really miss East Hamar." Ulf wrapped himself in fur, and Heitan lying next to the fireplace let out a whimper. A faint wolf howl came from the distance, and Heitan's ears turned. , raised his neck and let out the same wolf howl.
Just when Ulf stretched out his hand to touch the black coal, Luther's footsteps were heard from outside the door. When he walked to the door, he stamped his feet hard to shake off the snow from his boots, and then pushed away Door.
"It's the damn weather." Luther shook his head as he walked in.
"But the winter in East Hamar is even colder. I wonder if everyone has stored enough food and firewood for the winter?" Aqil pursed his lips. Here they have a warm fireplace and enough food, but in East Hamar Still a barren territory.
"Don't worry, everyone has been through countless winters, and they are well prepared for the cold in Northern Europe." Luther said to Ulf.
"Ugh, it's freezing to death. I feel like my fingers are going stiff." Suddenly, Ange, Vargas, Sigrid and others walked into the room together as if they had made an appointment.
"There is ale in the corner." Ulf pointed to the table in the corner and said to Vargas and others.
Generally, in Angsa people's houses, there is a vessel for hot wine on the fireplace, a tong-like thing with an iron kettle in front. Put the sprinkles into the iron kettle, put it on the fire to heat it, and pour out the hot wine. The malt liquor tastes slightly sweet.
"Huh, in this cold weather, drinking a pot of hot wine is the best thing." Vargas prepared it for himself unceremoniously. Hei Tan, who was hiding aside, whimpered dissatisfiedly, but he also knew clearly that Vargas was His master's friend had no choice but to hide aside and continue to lie down to sleep.
"Ulf, are we leaving like this?" When the hot cup was placed in front of everyone, they sat aside and drank it, and Ange stared at Ulf and said to him.
"Of course, we have to return to East Hamar, right?" Ulf raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly.
"Odin, I just gave up. We promised to give more to the people of East Hamar, but this loot is not enough now." Vargas patted his knee in dissatisfaction and said to Ulf.
"Greed is sinful." Ulf shrugged his shoulders and took a sip from his glass.
"I don't understand, we can obviously defeat those Unsa people, but why did we give up the opportunity in vain?" Vargas always believed that they should follow Guzlen, so that even if their troops are directed elsewhere, they can still take advantage of the opportunity. Pen.
"When I left, I heard other people say that Guzlen had no intention of abiding by the agreement with the Angsa people." At this time, Luther, who was holding a wine glass and lowering his head, also said.
As a pure warrior, he hated the peaceful life and longed for large-scale battles to show his life in front of the gods. Although he obeyed Ulf's decision to return to East Hamar, he still had doubts and worried that he would not Way to catch up with the real war.

Chapter 164, Prophecy
"Ulf, before leaving Guzrun, I saw you had a long conversation with him. Do you have any plans?" Ange frowned. She had seen Ulf and Guzrun with her own eyes. Together, the two talked to each other as if they had some plan, but unexpectedly, Ulf announced that he would lead everyone back to East Hamar.
Ulf frowned and remained silent. As a time traveler, he knew very well that Guzlen would tear up the agreement and launch a surprise attack while Alfred was slacking off. The time would be at the beginning of spring. However, this attack did not kill Alfred, but instead prompted the Wessex people to unite more around Alfred, and finally defeated Gutzlen completely at the Battle of Edington.
Because of this, Ulf was unwilling to wade into this muddy water and wanted to return to his territory comfortably with his companions and trophies.
However, Ange and others, as well as the North warriors under Ulf, thought it would be unwise to give up joining forces with Guzlen to defeat the Angsa people on the British Island and occupy this warm and fertile land. They were eager to Own a farmland that won't freeze.
"The soldiers all hope to establish a colony here and bring everyone from East Hamar here. _o_m" Ange put his hand on Ulf's knee and said to him softly.
No one desires fertile land more than the Nordics. This is the deep reason why the Norse warriors are fighting everywhere. They are fed up with the cold Nordic land and often throw their weak children in the wilderness in order to reduce their rations. To fend for itself.
"We can't win." Ulf frowned and said slowly.
"Why, what did your wise eyes see? The future?" Vargas showed an interested look, and he leaned forward and said to Ulf.
As a warrior who deeply believes in the Nordic gods, Vargas follows Ulf loyally because he is convinced that Ulf is a leader favored by the gods. Under his leadership, East Hamar's Only then can people live a prosperous life.
"Maybe it's a prophecy. Guzrun will indeed raid Alfred, but he won't win. This is a war where you win first and lose later. Even so, do you still want to participate?" Ulf handed the cup. After drinking all the warm wine, he glanced at everyone's faces and said to them.
After hearing Ulf's words, everyone looked at each other. The North people believed in prophecies and myths, and many great warriors had received prophecies. .
